Display for pump

Abstract

An apparatus comprising a pump configured to deliver insulin, a processor, and a user interface including a color display. Color on the display can be used to bring a user's attention to a change in status of the device or a detected change in status of the patient.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An ambulatory pump system, comprising:
 a user interface including a color display configured to display information to a user in a plurality of colors; 
 a memory configured to store parameters relating to operation of an ambulatory infusion pump; and 
 a processor configured to control the information displayed on the color display, the processor further configured to:
 display information relating to the status of the ambulatory infusion pump on a portion of the color display; 
 detect a change in status of the medical infusion pump; and 
 change the portion of the color display from one color to another color in response to the change in the status of the ambulatory infusion pump. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The ambulatory pump system as claimed of  claim 1 , wherein the change in the status of the pump relates to a device battery having a capacity less than a threshold battery capacity value. 
     
     
       3. The ambulatory pump system of  claim 1 , wherein a change in the color of the portion of the display screen includes a change in a text color. 
     
     
       4. The ambulatory pump system of  claim 1 , wherein the user interface is part of the pump. 
     
     
       5. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 1 , wherein a change in the color of the portion of the color display includes altering a color of a portion of a background of the color display. 
     
     
       6. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 1 , wherein a change in the color of the portion of the color display includes displaying a color flashing indicator. 
     
     
       7. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 1 , wherein the change in status of the ambulatory infusion pump relates to a level of insulin in the ambulatory infusion pump. 
     
     
       8. An ambulatory infusion pump system, comprising:
 a user interface including a color display configured to display information to a user in a plurality of colors; 
 a memory configured to store parameters relating to treatment of the user with an ambulatory infusion pump, including one or more thresholds related to glucose levels of the user; and 
 a processor configured to control the information displayed on the color display, the processor further configured to:
 receive information relating to glucose levels of the user; 
 display information relating to a recent glucose level of the user on a portion of the display in a first color; 
 compare the information relating to glucose levels of the user to the one or more thresholds related to glucose levels of the user; and 
 change the information relating to a recent glucose level of the user on the portion of the color display from the first color to a second color at the time when a glucose level of the user passes one of the one or more thresholds related to glucose levels of the user. 
 
 
     
     
       9. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 8 , further comprising an ambulatory infusion pump. 
     
     
       10. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 9 , wherein the user interface is part of the ambulatory infusion pump. 
     
     
       11. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 9 , wherein the user interface is part of a device that is separate from the ambulatory infusion pump. 
     
     
       12. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 8 , wherein comparing the information relating to glucose levels of the user to the one or more thresholds related to glucose levels of the user includes comparing glucose levels of the user to a high glucose threshold and to a low glucose threshold. 
     
     
       13. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to alter the color of the portion of the color display when the glucose level of the user is higher than the high glucose threshold. 
     
     
       14. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to alter the color of the portion of the color display when the glucose level of the user is lower than the low glucose threshold. 
     
     
       15. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 8 , wherein altering the color of the portion of the color display includes altering a color of text on the color display. 
     
     
       16. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 8 , wherein altering the color of the portion of the color display includes altering a color of a portion of a background of the color display. 
     
     
       17. The ambulatory infusion pump system of  claim 8 , wherein altering the color of the portion of the color.
